Lansky makes a great kit for about 20 bucks. I've even used it for sharpening broadheads. The Lansky is slow and tedious though.

RE: Knife sharpeners.
90% of the time a knife needs honing and not sharpening. Do you see a butcher stop and sharpen his knives. He uses the knife steel.
I don't use my general hunting knife for butching, because it will then need sharpening instead of honing.
Have you ever seen a barber stop and sharpen his razor, he hones it on a razor strap. He and thebutchers eventually will have to sharpen them when it starts to create what is called a wire edge and it isbeyond honing. Have you ever felt the barber razor pinch you while he is shaving you? That razor needs sharpening!
EDIT:OH, for those who don't know, alwaysstroke your knives with the edge towards you. If you stroke the edge away from you, you will create a wire edge. After you sharpen the knife, run the edge from back to front on the edge of a 2X4 to remove any and if there is a wire edge.
If you use a grinding wheel, you will create a Hollow Grind and it will dull quicker.
